Matthew Arnold summed up the rule for English criticism in the one word "disinter- estedness, " and maintained that criticism was to show its disinterestedness by "steadily re- fusing to lend itself to any of those ulterior, 81 SATURDAY PAPERS political, practical considerations about ideas, which plenty of people will be sure to at...tach to them . . . But which criticism really has nothing to do with. " And surely it is at least in part, because our present-day criti- cism has departed so far from this rule, be- cause it is in such large measure polemic and controversial, that, despite its frequent keen- ness and occasional brilliance, it has made little lasting contribution to letters. With fiction we are in no better case. Our more serious novelists, like our critics, are writing to establish definite contentions.
